Acoustic/indie folk prompt: 74-90 BPM, key of G minor. Intimate breathy female vocals paired with fingerpicked parlor acoustic guitar, soft Wurlitzer electric piano, upright bass, brushed snare, and faint cello swells. Narrative follows a woman revisiting her childhood lakeside cabin, tracing faded pencil marks on the windowsill and recalling her late grandmother's quiet wisdom. Emotional atmosphere: soft, nostalgic sorrow laced with quiet comfort—warm, human, and rooted in tender, specific memories.
歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Dust on the window pane Echoes of the summer rain Key turns in the rusted lock Time is just a ticking clock I step inside the hollow hall Shadows stretching on the wall [Pre-Chorus] The floorboards hum a song I know From many, many years ago I feel the breath of cedar wood Just like she said I would [Chorus] She said the lake will hold your tears And wash away the heavy years The water’s deep, the water’s wide With nowhere left for us to hide So let the silver ripples flow Where the quiet spirits go [Post-Chorus] Down by the silver lake Healing every old ache Everything is painted blue Everything she said was true [Verse] Pencil lines upon the sill Showing I was smaller still Dated June of ninety-four Footprints on the muddy floor She used to hold my trembling hand Help me try to understand [Chorus] She said the lake will hold your tears And wash away the heavy years The water’s deep, the water’s wide With nowhere left for us to hide So let the silver ripples flow Where the quiet spirits go [Bridge] The Wurlitzer is out of tune Underneath a paper moon I hear her voice within the breeze Moving through the willow trees A gentle ghost, a golden light Keeping watch throughout the night [Verse] I sit upon the porch alone The moss has claimed the garden stone The wind is whispering from above Telling of her endless love I’m taller than the marks she made But I’m still standing in her shade [Chorus] She said the lake will hold your tears And wash away the heavy years The water’s deep, the water’s wide With nowhere left for us to hide So let the silver ripples flow Where the quiet spirits go [Outro]
